**An instant** New York Times **bestseller! One of **TIME Magazine** ‘s 100 Must-Reads of 2021! Two people realize that it’s no longer an act when they veer off-script in this sizzling romantic comedy by **New York Times** bestselling author Jasmine Guillory.** Ben Stephens has never bothered with serious relationships. He has plenty of casual dates to keep him busy, family drama he’s trying to ignore and his advertising job to focus on. When Ben lands a huge ad campaign featuring movie star, Anna Gardiner, however, it’s hard to keep it purely professional. Anna is not just gorgeous and sexy, she’s also down to earth and considerate, and he can’t help flirting a little… Anna Gardiner is on a mission: to make herself a household name, and this ad campaign will be a great distraction while she waits to hear if she’s booked her next movie. However, she didn’t expect Ben Stephens to be her biggest distraction. She knows mixing business with pleasure never works out, but why not indulge in a harmless flirtation? But their light-hearted banter takes a turn for the serious when Ben helps Anna in a family emergency, and they reveal truths about themselves to each other, truths they’ve barely shared with those closest to them. When the opportunity comes to turn their real-life fling into something more for the Hollywood spotlight, will Ben be content to play the background role in Anna’s life and leave when the cameras stop rolling? Or could he be the leading man she needs to craft their own Hollywood ending?

As much as I love the chemistry between the two main characters and the impromptu Palm Springs drive scene, the sex scenes were poorly written and made me cringe, and the male romance interest was a little too plain and saccharine sweet.
I also agree w/ other reviewers that it was too slow a pace and the plot really didn’t go anywhere.
I love that there’s talk about how awful Hollywood is, being a black actress and the hate they get, and the aspect on mental health, but I saw many things worded weirdly, I felt like it needed a 2nd proofread. Overall, it just didn’t grab my attention like an Ali Hazelwood novel would, but I would recommend to a VERY CASUAL or OLDER romance reader.
